N-ethoxycarbonyl-N′-o-methoxyphenylthiourea was synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, TG-DTA analysis, IR, and 1H NMR spectrum, and single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. The compound crystallizes as a planar molecule in the monoclinic space group P2(1)/c, with a = 9.690(2)Å, b = 8.595(2)Å, c = 15.944(4)Å, α = 90°, β = 106.467(4)°, γ = 90°, and Dcalc = 1.326 g/cm3 for Z = 4. Intramolecular H-bonds promote the stability of the title compound and change the coordination ability of the thiourea ligand. Intermolecular N─H…S H-bonds link pairs of two molecules.
